Dept of Home Affairs not bothered by homophobic pastor

09 September 2016

The Home Affairs
Department says it is focusing on its legal proceedings ahead of the scheduled
visit by gay-bashing pastor, Steven Anderson.

It also stated that it isn’t
prepared to respond to his attack on Minister Malusi Gigaba. In a YouTube
video, Anderson can be seen accusing “that Jigaba” of being a “wicked sinner”
for threatening to impose strict conditions on his activities when he visits the
country later this month.

The Arizona-based
pastor’s homophobic teachings have sparked outrage from members of the LGBTI
community, who have called on Home Affairs to ban him from entering the
country.

The department says it
won’t in any way entertain Anderson and will update South Africans once a
decision has been made on his scheduled visit.
